Gaushalas across Lucknow, Ayodhya, Kanpur, Barabanki, Sitapur, and Hardoi pay UPPCL bills of Rs 12,000 to Rs 45,000 per month running fans for animal welfare, submersible water pumps, shed lighting, and fodder processing equipment. A correctly sized rooftop or ground-mounted solar system covers 60 to 80 percent of a gaushala daytime load, with CSR funding, PM Surya Ghar subsidy for eligible connections, and UPPCL net metering making the investment accessible even for charitable trusts with limited cash reserves.
